From the press release:

DARK HORSE COMES TO NETGALLEY!

THE THIRD-LARGEST COMICS PUBLISHER PROUDLY JOINS THE FASTEST-GROWING COMMUNITY FOR DIGITAL

GALLEY DISTRIBUTION

MAY 16, MILWAUKIE, OR—Dark Horse has partnered with Diamond Book Distributors and NetGalley to make twenty titles available each month to reviewers, bloggers, librarians, booksellers, and media professionals!

While there are currently one hundred publishers using this service, Dark Horse will be one of the first comics publishers to participate. By making its titles available for instant access in the NetGalley catalog, Dark Horse hopes to reach as wide an audience as possible, combining its current reach with NetGalley’s massive membership of over 26,500 professional readers.

NetGalley allows Dark Horse to offer full-color graphic novels and digital press kits (including book trailers, audio and video files, press materials, and images), all in a central location. Those with approved access will be able to download secure galley files to read on their computers and other preferred platforms, including the iPad.

“Dark Horse has a proud tradition of innovation and we’re pleased to work with another innovator—NetGalley—to make early reading copies of our titles available to reviewers, booksellers, librarians, and our partners in media around the world,” said Micha Hershman, VP of marketing at Dark Horse.

There is no charge for professional readers to register and use the site, and we encourage all of our partners in the media and book trades to sign up today at NetGalley.com.
